I received a message from a user concerning a conflict of interest with my creation of the Wikipedia page for Giovanni Zelko which I would like to clarify. I am not Giovanni Zelko nor am I associated with him professionally or personally. I've been to two screenings of his latest film, The Algerian while I was working for a film festival, DFFLA, where his film was featured during as our opening night piece, and the other occasion, while I was in NY this past summer. Since then I've become a fan of his, and I've been able to access a lot of his work from public content on YouTube and the director's personal website. Zelko has a really large body of work which I thought was worth recognizing, (especially after I read an article about him and his film in the Huff post), and regarding that he's published books, made films, and works with Harry Lennix. There was some buzz around him that I thought would grow, so I thought it would do the filmmaker justice to create a page for him. All of the info I found is available through his personal website and The Algerian movie website, primary, but between those two it was pretty in depth for me to make a good size article, but I see the issue since no one else contributed. But I'm also new to wiki, and zelko's article is my first so I wasn't too clear about the guidelines for single users. I thought if all the info is in the public domain then its usable, granted the sources are legitimate. I posted this a few times because I'm not sure if it's been received.

it is great that you have started talking! OK. There is a lot to learn in Wikipedia. Please do not WP:EDITWAR over any changes (please read what is in that link). Instead, if you have any questions about any changes that were made, ask about them on the article Talk page. Nagle put a boatload of time into bringing the article into line with WIkipedia's policies and guidelines today and you should be grateful to him for helping you. So ask questions and try to learn. If people (like me or others) write to you here or on the article Talk page and provide a link to whatever policy or guideline is relevant to the discussion, read it, think about it, and if you still don't understand, ask. And if you make a change and it is reverted by someone else,, ask why on the article Talk page (see WP:BRD). Good luck! Jytdog (talk) 07:21, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Jytdog, there's a lot of info that I'm trying to now gather and absorb about Wikipedia, which I hope will not only be helpful in maintaining my first article, but hopefully future ones, if it works out that way. I've definitely heeded your advice. Also, thank you Nagle for help editing and bringing the article into line. I really am a newbie but I'm learning. Thank you for your patience and kindness, and thank you for the well wishes, I hope my first effort to put material into the wiki world is a success!
